A spa assembly, comprising:
- a pool assembly having an enclosing body defining an interior, the body made of a soft material, further including a drain pipe, an air inlet, a water inlet and a water outlet provided in the body;
- a framework assembly having a plurality of beams, legs, and fittings that connect the beams and the legs together, with the beams and the legs positioned outside the enclosing body;
- and
- a wall assembly having a plurality of vertical wall supports, and a plurality of horizontally-oriented wall panels that are coupled to the plurality of vertical wall supports, with the wall supports and wall panels positioned outside the framework assembly.
A method of deploying a spa assembly, comprising:
- a. providing a spa assembly having:
- a pool assembly having an enclosing body defining an interior, the body made of a soft material, further including a drain pipe, an air inlet, a water inlet and a water outlet provided in the body, the body also having a belt that surrounds the body;
- a framework assembly having a plurality of beams, legs, fittings, and leg caps;
- and
- a wall assembly having a plurality of vertical wall supports, and a plurality of horizontally-oriented wall panels;
- b. forming the framework assembly by coupling the beams and the legs to respective fittings;
- c. extending each leg between the belt and the body;
- d. fitting a lower end of each leg into a recess on a respective leg cap;
- e. fitting a lower end of each wall support into a slot on a respective leg cap;
- and
- f. coupling the wall panels to the wall supports by sliding each wall panel between adjacent pairs wall supports.
